Can you give me a hint on how to do that?  The glibc manual does not
give a hint on this:

     % [ PARAM-NO $] FLAGS WIDTH [ . PRECISION ] TYPE CONVERSION

Posix says, one should do something like this:

   printf("%1$d:%2$.*3$d:%4$.*3$d\n", hour, min, precision, sec);

However it does not work for me:

#: g10/passphrase.c:521
#, c-format
msgid ""
"You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user:\n"
"\"%.*s\"\n"
"%u-bit %s key, ID %08lX, created %s%s\n"
msgstr ""
"Necesita una contraseña para desbloquear la clave secreta\n"
"del usuario: \"%1$.*2$s\"\n"
"clave %4$s de %3$u bits, ID %5$08lX, creada el %6$s%7$s\n"


cd /home/wk/work/gnupg-stable/po/
msgfmt --statistics -c -v -o /dev/null /home/wk/work/gnupg-stable/po/es.po
